To check for children on the IGI just fill in the 2 parent fields and the region and leave everything else blank.

You can leave the mother's surname blank but you do need a mother's forename and the ful father's name.

Go to IGI search, leave the First Name Last Name fields blank. Enter the parents names (Father's Given and Surname an Mother's given name are required [the mother's surname will narrow down the search])

Choose a Region (British Isles will be enough for usual names like Carson) click Search.

There are no listed Births or Baptisms to this couple.

However, in 1841 there is:

CASTLE Crawford 35 Labourer
Grace 35
Alexander 15
Archd 6
Elizabeth 9 Months

In 1851

81 New Vennel

Carson Crawford 48 Married Madeira Labourer born Paisley
Arch 14

Both were lodgers in the house of Annie Drummond as was a married Grace Harvey 48 born Paisley

Also looking for any information on Rathlin Island, County Antrim, Ireland.
